The Sum of 2017

(my version of best feeling of 2017)

So apparently, I got nothing to say nor nothing to do to welcome the ‘happy new year 2018’, but reminiscing the good old (well, it hasn’t been a day yet so) 2017 happen to be a decent idea (or I thought it would be so)

2017, where should I start?

Januari 2017 —well I’m all about college-student mode, jadi yang gue pikirin salah satunya adalah “udah semester 2, udah ngapain aja sejauh ini? terus mau ngapain nanti?” and to be honest, i got no plan nor any sight what step that I’ll take next. As for me, adjusting life to college is hard, so if you’re feeling the same, you must know the stumble-and-fall feeling while you’re in college. And that’s why I should’ve make a plan or a sight of what I would do next to keep myself from falling, you know? But I didn’t (Little that I know, I wish I had made one because the second semester was as bad as the first one). The first semester has knock me off much, so the holiday I spent, I spent more on sleeping.

The third semester was better, or I just felt so. Things were messy, but not as messy as before (and this is my perception of ‘better’). I saw things, I went to places, I experienced things. Things still were new for me, but I got the rhythm and I paced as fast.

2017 is my first-time-everything-year, and by far my most valuable year since I had much new experience (and it gets me a lot of new thoughts).

2017, I took big decisions, I took risky path. Until this far I don’t regret any of it for it makes me I am.

2017, I built bridges, I burnt bridges. I learned some things are worth to fight for, while some not.

2017, I learned to get to work my ass off to achieve something rather than wait for another luck to come by.

2017, I learned to accept things, to love what I do (for I’ll do it for the rest of my life).

2017, I learned the joy of friendship, the quality of it, the beauty of it. I pass many friendship-related problems this year than I had in my life, so I’ve learned the teary-eyes way that friendship has beauty in it if you don’t let your ego come the way.

So, at the age of 19, I would like to say thank you for anyone and any circumstances to make things possible for me to experience, for the laughter and tears I break, for making me I am at age of 19.

Cheers to more years to come, for I’ll have to cherish it my way.
